I am most proud of the product that I got out of my senior project and my deeper connection with athletics. I feel like with what I have learned, I can go confidently into the field of kinesiology and ultimately be happier with exercising.
I would rate myself an AP-P. My weakest point of my presentation were my skills as a presenter, which I feel will dock me down.
Considering my product and how much I have learned, I am satisfied with my senior project. However, with my laziness and lack of above and beyond work, I think my overall senior project was AP or P- work.
I have gained newer knowledge about somatotypes and nutrition that will help me be a better running. I could not do research at home and would have to do research early or ahead of time.
My senior project brings me closer to understanding the basics of kinesiology and will allow me to understand what is expected of that field.

EQ: What is most important for a recreational athlete to prevent injury and prolong their athletic life?
Answer 3: By observing the techniques of other athletes, a recreational athlete can develop a personal TECHNIQUE(s) to fit him or her best that allows maximum performance and reduced injuries.
FACTS: -Some runner's swear that leaning forward, running with a "ball-of-the-foot" strike is helpful and reduces stress on knees.
-By following personal techniques of experienced athletes, a less experienced athlete is able to test if that technique is valid to their own performance.
-Everyone is different. Nobody can simply do the exact movement or technique due to differences in body composition, metabolism, and experience. Some people are just unable to perform certain activities. By mixing and testing techniques, an athlete is able to experiment with their body and find which best applies to them

-Pictures of anatomy, ranging from skeletal, muscle, possibly nervous.
-May try to bring basic rehab equipment (ultrasound gel, ice/cold packs, resistance bands, weights) for simple demonstrations.
-Might bring in food for nutrition exercise.
1st activity: Show examples of different body types. Have students guess if examples are fit for certain sports.
2nd activity: Might need to ask for examples from the class to help consume certain calories (fast food, junk food, fruits, and veggies.) and have them do MILD exercise and ask for a difference. Once this difference is noted, I will explain why.

Eq: What is most important for a recreational athlete to prevent injury and prolong their athletic life?
A: Through maintaining a balanced diet, an athlete is provided with the sufficient nutrients and energy to ensure their body's have the right fuel to perform.
1. Proper nutrition is the framework of all exercise and nutrient deprivation prevents the body from working at its maximum abilities.
2. Providing sufficient nutrition ables the body to perform at a maximum rate by fueling muscles in demand.
3. Along with the demands of every day nutrition, a careful nutrition plan is vital for people who partake in regular exercise.

1) Although my interview didn't exactly influence my presentation, I decided to focus on neurological P.T because it does have a considerable connection with other P.T's and the way the body moves in general.
2)I tried to set up my presentation in a way where i could effectively and visually give the basic general information about the sections and injuries of the spine.
3)Trying to figure out how much to present, what to emphasize in depth, and managing time.

5 Minute Presentation
I will focus on learning then teaching neurological physical therapy and the cause and effects.
* Explain the definition of neurological P.T and why it's important.
* Explain the brief anatomy of the nervous system and anatomy of inner workings of nerves.
* Get into the types of nerve damages and how to treat them
I will check for understanding, asking basic like "If Physical Therapy is the diagnosis and treatment of physical injury, then neurological physical therapy concerns with the workings of the nerves, right?"
Possible ideas for presentation include entire anatomy of nerves and their connections with each other, and posterboard with list of injuries and the concerning anatomies.
